Default RE: Just dont know

Do you do any offroading of any kind at all? Do you want to get bigger tires ever? These are the 2 biggest questions. If the answer is no to both, then I would just lower the back. If you like to plow the corn fields at night, or go camping deep in the woods, you might want to lift it a bit, but not much as you will get stuck in those deeper puddles regardless being a 2 wheel drive.

Hammer, Where are you to bust this guys balls about crusing around on a peice of lumber?

Zondo, it is 4x2...a 2x4 is wood... I got busted for that yesterday (mine was a typo tho, lol)

Well, if you do not want to lift the front end, then lowering the back is your only option. Why do you not want to raise the front, just out of curiosity?

Yea, I am goin UP...getting my coil spacers in the mail soon, and am going to do that on the same day as my header install. I figure it will be easier to do the headers with the suspension out of the way, and I am going to have to takethe susp.apart to install the spacers anyway...

I hear you... I got a sick deal on these new spacers (less than $40 after shipping) so I decided to go that way with it. I think the loweing shackles work well and are fairly easy to install. They will give a nice sporty look to the truck, and are fairly inexspensive.
